Shen Zhezi's first public appearance after returning to the town gathered at the meeting, and after many days of intensive preparations in the Governor's Mansion, the exact news was finally released. In addition to the people from the north and south who were invited by the Governor's Office, those who were not invited also sought their own ways to attend.

Because the people who wanted to join in were so enthusiastic, that the originally set date was postponed by two days, and the location was changed again and again, from the original Governor's Mansion to the Xinshi Pavilion, and finally it was directly set at a fort that could accommodate two or three thousand people under Bagong Mountain outside the city.

On this day, most of the troops around Shouchun City gathered near Bagong Mountain to maintain order, and Shen Zhezi also left Beiye at dawn and went to the Governor's Mansion to prepare, and the King of Huainan naturally accompanied him.

From the Governor's Mansion to Bagong Mountain, there are crowds of people along the way, and the scene is grand. Although the king of Huainan has a noble status, it is rare to see such a grand occasion in Jiangdong.

This time the rally was not a formal occasion, Shen Zhezi was dressed in a horse, and the king of Huainan was also in the stream, and he did not make a special trip to set up the ceremonial drive, and went into battle with the same light clothes.

But this does not mean that his majesty does not exist, because Shen Zhezi personally led the guards to defend him, half a horse behind the king of Huainan, which can be said to completely highlight the king of Huainan.

Everywhere along the way, everyone danced and cheered, the king of Huainan inevitably had a youthful heart, and his face was flushed with excitement while being restrained, and such a grand scene was laid out with him as the center, and the excitement and excitement were really difficult to express. And the resentment accumulated along the way was also vanished with the enthusiastic cheers around him.

"Today is known as the king's ......"

King Huainan was excited, but there was also a little haze in his heart, and a little resentment was because Zhuge and others actually refused to accompany him, which really caught him off guard.

As a result, King Huainan also has a deeper feeling for the rights and wrongs of human feelings, although his brother-in-law Shen Weizhou treats him lukewarmly and rarely respectfully, but he is never ambiguous and trustworthy on real occasions, and will never let him fail to come down.

But Zhuge and others seem to be respectful, but at the moment when they really need it, they play tricks and pick on them. They complained a lot about being snubbed on this front, but they could not help the king of Huainan maintain his prestige. Now that Huainan finally put on a grand scene, they were excited and let themselves go to the meeting alone.

Shen Zhezi also noticed the change in King Huainan's expression along the way, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the political situation in Jiangdong has been able to remain stable in recent years, and the price is that the political sense of those second generations has plummeted, overestimating themselves, and underestimating the sources of their respective powers. If a few of them can succeed, then why do they need the king of Huainan to swagger north.

Zhuge Cheng and others made some small moves under his nose, how could they hide Shen Zhezi. Even if he was too lazy to respond, he could play those people around with a casual stroke, and those people were led away by him one after another. Of course, if he knew that Zhuge Yu and the others had already decided not to attend, he would understand that he still looked up to them.

However, the attitude of these people who are eager to contact the Huainan people also makes Shen Zhezi understand Taichung's intentions. Taichung's goal should be to push his influence across Huaishui, just as he took over Liang County a few years ago, and the king of Huainan was a cover for them to take over Huainan.

It is normal for Taizhong to have such an idea, the ownership of Xuzhou has not been decided, and Xi Jian is getting closer and closer to Shen Zhezi, and this year's Bian Gong has made such a huge progress, and the scope and power that Shen Zhezi can actually control is even greater than the Langya Wang clan that was prosperous in the early years.

What's more, Taichung can't even find a force that can counterbalance Shen Zhezi. At present, Wuhui has become one, the Xuzhou army and the Huainan army have also jointly attacked and won great successes, and Yu Yi of Jingzhou can only enter the town with the support of the Shen family.

Jiangzhou, the only one that still has some hope, has suffered a great loss in military strength in the siege of Fangzhen in the early years. And whether Jiangzhou is willing to fully support Taichung is still in doubt. As for Jiaoguang further south, it is needless to mention.

Perhaps in Taichung's view, handing over the entire Yuzhou, including Heluo, Xubei, Qingyan and other places to Shen Zhezi, is already a great concession. But this result is naturally impossible for Shen Zhezi to accept, at least before the Central Plains is on the right track, Huainan is still his foundation, and he needs a steady supply of blood to the north of the Huai River.

Moreover, he had no reason to make concessions at all, and he had previously ceded Liang County, which was to avoid intensifying the contradictions and affecting the operation of the six counties of Huainan and the later Northern Expedition. Now that Huainan is being let out, is he worried that the Taifu people will have trouble sleeping and eating and will die soon? If he really scared these people to death, it would save Shen Zhezi's energy.

As for the identity of King Huainan, it is everyone's, and who can use it better depends on their respective skills. If you really talk about it, who is not a relative.

In the noise all the way, Shen Zhezi and his entourage finally arrived at the foot of Bagong Mountain. The area had already been cleared, but there was no crowd along the way, but nearly 1,000 people lined up outside the fort to greet them, and the scene was also huge.

After King Huainan dismounted, his footsteps were a little vain, and the shock in his heart had not been eliminated. Shen Zhezi took a step forward and pulled up King Huainan and stepped forward, and King Huainan's mood returned to calm slightly.

He is indeed a respectful and polite young man, grateful for the grand scene created for him by his brother-in-law, so he does not force himself to go ahead, and the picture that comes side by side looks very kind.

Yu Tiao and several other Huainan officials who were in charge of organizing the assembly came forward to greet them first, and then some important guests. Then the huge welcoming procession parted ways and made way, and in a polite greeting, the group slowly entered the fort.

The meeting place in the fort has already been prepared, and the barracks and buildings have all been opened up and connected by bamboo buildings, accommodating more than 1,000 people, including servants from various families.

Shen Zhezi and King Huainan were seated in the main venue for more than 100 seats, because it was a ring layout, and there was no difference between distance and proximity. On the way to the banquet, Shen Zhezi also explained to the king of Huainan the intention of this assembly, although Huaibei is wide, but it is also urgent, and the gathering of the north and south is to raise money for the army of the king and the native people of China.

When King Huainan heard this, he was originally a little nervous, and he was a little weak about whether he could do his best to rashly join such a major matter.

"Being in this position is what everyone wants. The king is the blood of the ancestors, His Majesty's own brother, everything is handled calmly, and no one can take it lightly. ”

Shen Zhezi pulled the king of Huainan into the banquet, and comforted him with a smile: "The pearl is buried in the mussel, but it dances with fish and shrimp." But if it is adorned with a crown, it will shine in this world. I didn't know that I could travel to the Central Plains and defeat thieves in a row, but fortunately I didn't give up on the king's order, so I couldn't sit idle. ”

When the king of Huainan heard this, he was also quite encouraged for a while, and said solemnly: "I don't dare to say that I will do my best, but if I can witness with my own eyes that the people of the current generation can help the king together, this trip to the north will be worthwhile." ”

As he spoke, everyone was seated. Although the main people in this rally were Jiangzhou people, there was no shortage of other parties, and although nearly half of them were fun, they also learned a little bit about the inside story.

Villagers who often deal with the Huainan Governor's Mansion are no strangers to such semi-official gatherings, which have been held frequently in recent years. Even first-time participants have heard a lot about it.

After the first few words of the rally, the head of the Governor's Mansion took the stage to talk about some affairs of the Governor's Mansion that were difficult for the people to access. This is more similar to the government work report, which is to ventilate some of the recent achievements of the Governor's Office. Of course, it is impossible to be overly detailed, and most of the content involved is related to commerce and trade.

This time, because several large-scale battles were involved, there was a bit more to be announced. It is naturally impossible to make public the secret affairs of military aircraft, such as the real dispatch of soldiers' grain and grass, but there is no need to conceal the huge achievements of the war.

It was also the first time that everyone present had learned in such detail about the fruitful results achieved by Wang Shi this year, recovering several states one after another, directly breaking through Shi Zhao's lair, and recovering the entire territory of Heluo!

The report was interrupted by applause and applause several times, although these people participated in the rally with their own hearts, but hearing that Wang Shi was so magnificent, that kind of pride and excitement also came spontaneously, and people could not ignore it indifferently, the tragedy of Shenzhou Lu Shen and Cangsheng seemed to end completely, and the next thing was to sweep the four sides and completely eliminate the remnants of those Hulu.

The atmosphere in the venue was rising and difficult for a long time. King Huainan was also influenced by this, and frequently looked at his brother-in-law sitting nearby, so he could better understand the heartfelt pride of his sister-in-law when talking about his brother-in-law.

This enthusiasm lasted for nearly an hour, and the rally entered the next process, which was a summary of Huainan's business affairs in the past year.

Today's Huainan is not only a collection place for the sale of goods, but also a huge production base, such as tuntian and smelting and casting, which are related to the fundamental industry, naturally it is impossible for the people to get involved, but other handicrafts are also very prosperous.

As for Dingcang, it is a huge collection of logistics, raw materials, employment, market, warehousing and many other commercial elements.

There is no shortage of wealthy businessmen and giants with hundreds of millions of family fortunes here, but how can their portal wealth be compared with the huge amount involved in Dingcang. Even this year, due to the impact of the war, commerce and trade have also been affected and seriously sluggish, especially in Heluo, there have been many vicious incidents of murder and seizure of wealth.

But even so, when some of the core data of Dingcang was announced, it still attracted many people present to marvel. This is also the first time that the Governor's Office has disclosed this level of information, and many wealthy and arrogant people are also shocked when they hear that their rich family assets are not even comparable to the daily flow of Dingcang.

In this brief report, the so-called billions of wealth is just an ordinary quantifier. By the end of the day, the numbers that should have been insane have become numbing. And the behemoth of Dingcang, which is only seen by ordinary people in the past, is only a glimpse, and when the whole is slightly outlined, it is suddenly shocked by this world.

Of course, it is not that no one doubts the authenticity of these data, but later a Governor's Office official explained that there were printed copies of the materials in each branch room for people to look through and audit. Although the information channels between them are still asymmetrical, at least they add some impartiality.

Although the Governor's Office has made some false reports in terms of Dingcang data, there is no doubt that with the laying and development of these years, Dingcang has already become a powerful and almost perverted economy in this world.

It is also based on this reliance that Shen Zhezi has the confidence to leverage more precipitated people's wealth and carry out the optimal allocation of resources on the basis of Dingcang.

The content related to Dingcang does not take up a long time, but the shock it brings to people is even greater than that of Wang Shi's big victory. Wang Shizhuanggong can be said to be the luck of the society, and the prosperity of Dingcang is directly related to the rise and fall of the family business.

So, when this presentation was over, the whole venue fell into a strange dullness. The congregation was digesting the impact of these messages, but they were also wondering what they could gain with the tripod.

Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to let people start the next process, he took a shallow look at the King of Huainan who was also in shock and couldn't extricate himself.

The Taifu of Jiangdong can use the King of Huainan to test and pave the way for taking over Huainan, and similarly, he can also use the King of Huainan to create the illusion that his relationship with the garden is still close.

He didn't even need the king of Huainan to make any statement, he just needed his physical presence to witness many people desperately investing their family wealth, so the intention of the Taifu to take over Huainan would definitely suffer a heavy setback. Because this alternation of authority in Fangzhen will inevitably involve the redistribution of various interests, some people will rise up, and some people will be out.

Most of the people present at the moment are from Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou is a town that needs to be taken care of at present. Once the Taifu people are in a hurry to start, it will naturally provoke a backlash from the people of Jiangzhou: it turned out that the king of Huainan was sent across the river to lure them into investing their family wealth, and then seize power to divide the goods?

Even in order to stabilize the mood of the people in Jiangzhou, Taichung will definitely need to be cautious in the future, either simply give up the pretense of King Huainan and find another way out, or fully communicate with the people involved in Jiangzhou to ensure that their interests remain unchanged.

But this is not something that can be completed in the short term, and with this period of buffer, it is undecided whether the Taifu will ask Shen Zhezi to hand over Huainan or whether Shen Zhezi will go south and expel the Taifu from the city.
